Chapter 520 - Nyarlathotep's Intervention

-----

"Noah, I told you it was impossible to fight that being! I am going to disobey you and quickly bring us to another world! I don't care anymore! Gaia!" said the Blood Progenitor.

Gaia nodded, as she quickly began to control the System with the Blood Progenitor against Noah's orders of waiting.

Noah within his Divine Realm felt sickly out of the sudden, his soul began to be affected by his clones being attacked, but he had to do this to protect the manor, and well, out of revenge for being revealed a truth that shattered his very concept of reality…

"Noah! Unsummon the clones! Quickly!" said Iris.

"Papa!" cried Dante.

"Papa, are you okay?" asked Eleanora.

The two children cried for their father, as Noah gritted his teeth and petted their heads.

"I am doing fine, but I cannot unsummon it… yet…!" muttered Noah.

Noah couldn't unsummon the clones because they were protecting the manor that was the anchor to the world, if his clone were to be destroyed, the swarm of aberrations would quickly attack the manor and enter it, invading his divine realm directly.

And he couldn't possibly let that happen, not at all!

Using all the strength he could muster, Noah's clone tried to move upwards, but the massive wave of miasma and chaos falling over him seemed endless, and Lucifer, now that he had learned that he couldn't lower his guard anymore with Noah, decided to finish him off quickly.

"It was good while it lasted… That was a short fight, but perhaps one where I had truly felt excitement in a while… Now, Noah, your time has come. And don't worry, the moment I destroy this clone, the real you will also be gone." Said Lucifer.

Noah heard such news and felt a sudden urge to unsummon his clone, but quickly realized he couldn't!

He realized that Lucifer had completely entrapped his divine realm within the spatial layers, and it was completely impossible for him to move now…

Crack… crack!

However, a sudden rupture in space and time opened right before Lucifer, another Rift of a greater power opened, as a gigantic crimson-red eye covered by red tentacles emerged, alongside an amorphous entity made of twisting flesh in the mild form of a human… both of such entities exuded a tremendous power that distorted reality itself, these were… Outer Gods!

Lucifer looked with shock at the scene, it shouldn't be possible for Outer Gods to come out of the Outer Void like this yet! Then how…? How were these able to do so, even though their power level was exceeding the one of his Avatar as the Chaos Dragon?!

"What?! How can you… You're Bloodshot Eye and… Nyarlathotep?!" asked Lucifer.

Noah head Lucifer's words as he resisted the slow disintegration of his body, looking upwards through his Eyes of Truth, and being barely able to discern the figures that had showed up out of nowhere, their very presences distorted space and time, and because of this, they were very hard to completely discern.

"Bloodshot Eye…? And… Nyarlathotep?!"

Noah was just as shocked as Lucifer!

The truth was that these two Outer Gods were using a tremendous part of their power to come in here forcefully, and were even violating several Universal Laws at the same time.

The entire Universe was, as of now, forcing them to constantly weaken, their very existences began to slowly disintegrate as well, but due to their tremendous power and gigantic energy reserves, they were resisting this power for the moment.

"Lucifer, that's enough." said Nyarlathotep.

"What? You… you from all people is stopping me?!" asked Lucifer.

"You heard her." said Bloodshot Eye.

"But Nyarlathotep, didn't we had a deal? Are you breaking it now?! The rest of the Outer Gods all agreed I had to slay Noah… You've changed your mind? I don't believe this." said Lucifer.

"I told you to stop." Said Nyarlathotep, its amorphous body suddenly opened a single and small crimson-red eye.

TRUUUUMMM…!

A wave of invisible energy fell over Lucifer, paralyzing him on the spot!

"T-This… Nyarlathotep… You…! We had a deal!" muttered Lucifer.

"A deal with one of my egos, I am not the one you made a deal with. Lucifer, you know that there are many of my own selves?" asked Nyarlathotep.

"You… You were fragmented into seven egos of yourself by the Divine Holy Sword of the Archangel Gabriel eons ago… So one of them was a softie for his child?! Haha! You're making me laugh now!" said Lucifer.

"I don't even understand it myself… But when I see him… When I see my child… When I see what he's going through and when I realize how all of you damned monsters have been playing with him all this time… I simply cannot stay still… Nobody would had helped me except him." said Nyarlathotep, as she looked at bloodshot eye.

The gigantic eye felt embarrassed, as he mildly looked at Noah, the beam of chaos had stopped, and everything was silent.

Noah looked up to the two aberrations, he had never thought he would receive the help of these entities… he knew of Bloodshot Eye, but he never thought that he would ever help him in anything.

Deep down… he had to admit it. He felt slightly touched.

"Why… Why are you… helping me?" asked Noah, he looked miserable, barely managing to stand.

FLASH!

The two flew at his side, as Nyarlathotep embraced him in her tentacles, and began to unleash a powerful ability that healed all of his wounds, even those of his soul.

"I know you've never meet me, nor I require your recognition… I can live happy knowing that I did something instead of standing still and watching my child die…" sighed Nyarlathotep.

"…"

Noah fell into silence as Bloodshot Eye spoke.

"Noah, you're my Warlock, there's no way I wouldn't help you… Even if we have not spoken since our contract, I've seen all your journey until now… I've grown slightly fond of you." Said the aberration.

Noah felt confused, as he was let go of the embrace of his abyssal mother.

"Noah… I…" she muttered.

TRUUUUMMMM…!

However, several enormous rifts emerged right behind everyone…
